Did you ever stop to think about maybe for one minute he works so much because of yall . A man that provides for his family shouldn’t be ridiculed. There are times my husband works 7 days a week 12 hour days. I understand . Hes doing it for us . We have a brand new home . We have cars , we have food , we have clothes . I don’t want for much, I’m also privileged to be s SAHM to our child . Thank you to my husband for all sacrifices . Big thank you to men out there busting your ass for your family

My daughter was in a situation like this years ago, now devorced,sad but a habit he wasn’t willing to break till after the fact…

Count yourself blessed my dad was a lox. When he did work he would take his money to the race track. Then one day he just stopped working and demanded mom dress us up is shabby stuff and go down to collect welfare. She told him to eat dirt and die and went to work. Then she would come home from her 11p-7a job lay down on the sofa and he would sit in the chair next to her glaring at her as she climbed the career ladder to become a supervisor. So finally she left his azz and took us 3 girls with her. She would have loved to marry a man that worked hard. Dad never took us no place and we got no vacations except to grandparents house 300 miles away. Even when he had a good job and money.

I have been married to someone just like that for 38 years, and he only changed when his health slowed him down.

Suggest counseling we keep from bonding and being loved properly over materialistic items thats a mental thing

My ex was and still is like this. Part of the reason why he is an ex.

Or grow up and realize adults have to work to support their families!!!

I work constantly too. Usually 2 to 3 weeks without a day off. It’s for my family.

Or hes working to support his kids… You can’t complain they’re working because then you’ll be pissed they don’t have the money they currently have to support their kids.

My fiancé works seven days a week for almost 12 hours and i have almost 2 year old a 1 year old pit

You know what you do? Tell him thank you for providing for your family and working hard so you and your children have the things they need. My husband busts his butt and the last thing I want to do is say oh stop so we can’t have the things we do. I’m grateful for my workaholic husband.

Why would he change; if 1 kid didn’t change anything?

That’s how they take care of you Or it’s a lie and they are cheating but mine hated missing things

Well…maybe they work hard to provide their kids with a good life :thinking:

You can have a busy man or a broke man

I have the opposite issue.

I personally can’t stand how many people are on here are.saying “he’s providing for the family, cook him dinner and be grateful”. She blantly states " HE CHOOSES, NOT HAS TO, CHOOSES TO WORK instead of spending time with her and the kids". There are workaholics just like there are alcoholics and NO ITS NOT OK​:bangbang::bangbang: If there is no financial reason to work EXTRA then simply sit him down and explain exactly how you feel, why you feel that way and the consequences of him continuing to put you and the kids last. " He’s teaching you to live without him".

What do you mean you dont know what to do with him? I’m the work obsessed one in my marriage. I usually am back to work within a month of having a kid (most places require you wait 30 days). I have 5 kids age 1 to 12. My hubby has to always remind me or get mad to not go in when I get a call cause someone doesn’t show up. I was working 60+hr a wk during his off season. I work 2 jobs so I’m always being asked to come in on my day off or going from one job to the other. For me it is cause I dont want to feel like we cant afford to live. I can say remind him that self care is important and the kids will be grown before he knows it. Make the most of the days off or time yous do get together. Took me a miscarriage to slow down and my hubby still has to tell me not to pick up shifts.

Men show their love of family by providing.
They aren’t emotional creatures like us.

It could also be related to anxiety or something. I’m a workaholic. If I’m not constantly moving by cleaning, working, making money, then I feel like a useless piece of shit. More money means I can take care of my family better. Just talk to him and ask him why he works so much.

My husband is the same way. And honestly after 6 years I’m still fucking over it. Everyone else takes days off in his department and can call in when their kids or sick or ask to leave early occasionally for their kids but he flat refuses. It breaks our daughters heart that her dad never makes her a priority. He’s more concerned with having money than with spending time with her. We both make decent money too so its not like we need him to work the hours and no matter how much i complain he never changes. Its to the point that if he’s home I leave just so i can force him to spend some quality time with our daughter because otherwise she has grown so accustomed to him not being around she doesn’t even try to interact with him anymore and to me thats devastating. I would do the same if I were you. Tell him you’re going to the store or running an errand and force him to take the time to care for and bond with his children. Don’t wait like I did. Ive also started making my daughter tell her dad how it makes her feel so that it doesn’t just seem like I’m the bitchy naggy wife.

Up until last year I use to work 50 to 60 hours a week I chose to work these hours somehow I found comfort in being at work more so than being at home it wasn’t that I didn’t love my husband my brain was just wired to work

Maybe he’s just too pressured to provide well for your family. Check his family history also, if he came from a hard up family in the past, he would really have the tendency to work really hard so his current family wont experience what he experienced before. I guess he wants to have a more comfortable life for himself and his family.

Should just be happy you have a husband who does work. Alot of single parents have no choice but to always choose work if they wanna be able to provide everything for their child. Honestly just talk to him and just ask why the reason is, and how can you 2 work together to make it better so you have more time for eachother

My husband is. He’s military so he doesn’t really have a choice. It sucks.
